Table 3: Tentative Pairing for New Meteorites

Table 3 summarizes possible pairings of the new specimens with each other and with previously classified specimens based on descriptive data in this newsletter issue. Readers who desire a more comprehensive review of the meteorite pairings in the U.S. Antarctic collection should refer to the compilation provided by Dr. E.R. D. Scott, as published in issue 9(2) (June 1986). Possible pairings were updated in Meteoritical Bulletins No. 76 (Meteoritics 29, 100-143), No. 79 (Meteoritics and Planetary Science 31, A161-174), No. 82 (Meteoritics and Planetary Science 33, A221-A239), No. 83 (Meteoritics and Planetary Science 34, A169-A186), No. 84 (Meteoritics and Planetary Science 35, A199-A225), No. 85 (Meteoritics and Planetary Science 36, A293-A322), No. 86 (Meteoritics and Planetary Science 37, A157-A184) and No. 87 (Meteoritics and Planetary Science 38, A189-A248).
